Always ask for help. Heard that phrase, have you? Well, Apple seems to have made that its motto rather than 'think[ing] differently'. Apple has always had a history of relying on its competition for assistance.

Be it cutting a deal with Samsung to purchase OLED display glasses for its iPhones or announcing partnerships with IBM to create business apps for iPhones; Apple, at the end of the day, has to rely on major tech giants to get things done.

And, this time, Apple, in a report, has revealed that it counts on Google's storage cloud and Amazon S3 to store their own iCloud data. “The encrypted chunks of the file are stored, without any user-identifying information, using third-party storage services, such as [Amazon] S3 and Google Cloud Platform," the report quotes.

However, we aren't sure when this collaboration between Apple and Google took place, raising numerous suspicion on their activities. Well, if it's for the better good of their consumers, all we can say is 'Why not?'
